UNITED STATES CHARLES W. F. DARE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

IMPROVEMENT IN CHILDRENS CARRIAGES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 122,998, dated January 23, 1872.

SPECIFICATION. To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GHAs. W. F. DARE, of New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ohildrens Carriages; and I do hereby declare tha-t the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawin g and to the letters of reference marked thereon which form a part of this speciiication.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of the arms which support the front axle of a childs carriage, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a side view, and Fig. 2 a front elevation of a childs carriage; and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical` section of one end of the front axle, with one of the arms supporting the same.

part of each lying against the under side of the body, and secured to it by any suitable means, while the other part extends downward and forward, as shown. In the extreme lower end of each arm D, on theinner side, is formed a circular recess or socket, as shown in Fig. 3, for the insertion of a tenon, a, formed upon the end of the front axle E. This tenon is long enough to iirst receive the front wheel G up to the shoulder of the axle, and then the end of the tenon be inserted in the socket. A screw, b, is then passed from the outside through the end of the arm D into the end of the tenon a, thus firmly securing the axle in position, the front wheels G G turning independently of each other on the axle.

Having thus fully described my invention, what l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of the arms D D, having journalsockets on their extreme forward ends, the axle E with tenons ct a, the screws b b, and the wheels G Gr, all substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
